Editor LIGHr:
are Teller what likes 10 go the ''hole
hog" on queshuns instead Of being sOr-
ter In fRvur OF a thing and sorter sgin it
and a BLOWN hot for spell and then
BLOWN cold for sesln. | ar a convert
to prohibishun. but the prohlbishun
must go the hole hog to suit me. Ter
baker must be perhiblted, for it makes
the nuryes shaky, giys them as uses Il,
heart disc ase, leads up to peralisis and
sOftenin OF the brain; opium In all Its
cumbernashuns must go; IL ties the liyur
in a bOw-knot and makes people lie like
blazes and look jist like walkin corpses.
reTbRker costs millions OF dollars every
year and don't do burned bit OF good.
Opium ar In the same box. III the game
of perhiblshun am to be played, let us
play our hand for all IL ar worth, and
cut up vices by the roots and shake all
the dirt frum the roots. | seen tother
day in nOOspapur that goOber pease
CIV peple dispepsy more than any other
verb and everybody and his wife knows
that dispepsy ar the most aggravatin
and tryin kumplaint man kin heve,
and that 1t are Onourable. Thousands
OF doctors and potherkaries and paint
mederCin chaps heve jist got rich Off OF
dispeptiks and the unfortunate victims
OF stOmiks outen tune died and had to be
buried rs paupuTs. dootur ar NUT
tOn-headed, slab-sided fule II he kant
support his famerly outin one rich chap
with the dispepsy. Sioh feller ar meat
and bred TO doctor and pm In church
and buggy to the potherkary what
puts up the perscripshuns.
The sale OF gOober pease must be per-
hlbited, Dispepsy must be wiped clean
out. This Is my hand.
Kunsumshun kills more peple than rot
gut and split skull whisky In their
prime, and this dredful disease kin be
handed down from parunts to childrln,
and as kunsumtives ar of no account, |
am for law perhlbitin them from mar
ryin. They amt fit for breeders. Ef
sich law ar not passed purity sumo,
we will become a nashun OF kunsum-
tiVes. lOkermOtiye skiletuns, mere
ghosts of men and womin. We must
heve rObustlous and helthy peple, even
II the doctors heve to plough for a liv-
in. Let the decree go forth that kun
sumtiye men and womln shant be mar
ried no how. This am bisness. Vices
and diseases must be wiped out and
nary grese spot OF them left.
Water milyuns give peple kolik, chills
and fever, and don't saterfy the apper-
tite, and they cost hepe Of money.
CUES that ten billyuns Of water milyuns
are got away with every year In the
United States, and at a quarter apiece,
they cost the peple p bilyuns of dollers
which ar jist thrOwed away. The
government bev perfect rite to perhibit
sellin water milyuns, rs 1t Iuarintines-
agin email pOx, kolurer and yeller fevur.
and puts whisky out OF the reich OF
peple, who kant tell wharf ar good for
them.
The Sunday law don't reich far enuf.
Peple ought to fast Sunday and save
that mutGh grub. They should be made
to sing hims and drink water-and to
drink water and sing hims on Sunday,
and be perhiber:ed from eatin vittles on
that HOLIDAY. Fasting is a religious ex-
gise. 1t makes peple humble az well
Try. Peple eat too much anyhow.
throw away milyuns OF dollars on
ia. .Ipod. There are 90 milyuns OF
pephl~ the United States and
they will average 80 cents apiece
for Sunday vittles, which will
come to S30,0C0,OOO for one
days grub. This huge sum ar wasted.
AS there ar 80 Sundsys in a year. fast
ing on Sunday would save $3.50, 0OO, 900.
1t would save double that sum in doc
tors and pOtherkary bills.
banker for law perhibertin' women
from wearin' kOrsits and striped stock
ins. The dye stuff in de striped stock
ms am pisenus, and the plsen am alb
| sOrbed through the pores of the skin.
KOrsits heve killed half the women that
| die, and ruined the helth Of the balanse
by lappin Their rips and kumpressin'
Their lungs. The wearin' of korsits on
its wOmin for breedin' (the department
mater intended them fOr), and eff the
evil practice amt stopped, we shall be
born into the world inyalids.
Government is bound to act as the gar
deem OF the peple, for the peple baint no
judgment and kant tell good from evil.
They hev never eaten OF the fruit OF the
tree of knowledge. and kOnserqwently
don't know good from evil. | am in ia
yor of the government runnin' the peple
and not the peple runnin' the COVER
ment. Let us have plenty OF perhiber-
terry laws; they ar like the railin' on
bridges, and let thedaw pint out what
we shalt eat, drink and wear. We must
go the hole figger.
